@Matt Wood recently went to sfs. He may be able to spew some updated info. I would like to attend an SFS class but the timing just never works out.
my view of what to charche has changed greatly over the last year. I now have a building and with that building comes a lot more expenses. I won’t lie. The rug haven’t exactly been coming in like flood waters. I haven’t done any advertising yet or rug marketing. I’m sure if i put some effort into marketing I would be getting more.

I stay very busy cleaning carpets. I won’t post my pricing due to the local lurkers, but Ive come along way since I first started. I just upped my pricing again and with inflation happening, people are more understanding.

I really need to hire a helper. I just don’t want to deal with all the baggage that comes along with a helper. I need to convince myself over that hurdle.
So helpful 🙄

All that’s great Richard.
Long winded
Unnecessary
But great.
If you have accounting software, which we previously agreed you need, then your costs are already accounted for.

I’ve used quick books since 2008 for income and expense tracking. I like the self employed version. Also I learned my lesson and only use the online version. Lost all of my itemized entries one year after a software update.

I don't believe the 1/3 x 3 pie works well in this business.
Too many variables. Like, do you know the exact amount of jobs you will have each month? We don't.
We also don't know the exact cost of each job, in advance, either. Again, too many variables.
It's a good model for janitors, but not us.

I agree 1,000 percent. So, your baseline should be what your minimum charge is and proceed from there. That’s how you would consider all the variables.?
